IMPROVEMENT IN PLANES.

Specification forming part ot' Letters PatentNo. 4l,3l7, dated January 19, 1,864.

To all whom/ it may co'naarn..

Be it known that I, ELI ODELL. ofWinterf set, Madison county, and Sta-te of Iowa, have invented an Improvement on the (lommon Plane in two particulars, as hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of .reference marked thereon.

The nature of my improvements are in the two following particulars: First, the thread of the plane is to be cut concave, instead of convex, as in the usual form, thus entirely preventing it from choking with shavings, as is customary with the common form g second, improvement is to prevent the enlargement of the throat ot' plane as the face wears away by use, which is done in the following manner: Cut out to the depth of one inch (more or less) the face of the plane from the throat to the iront end. Then out a groove -in the center of the plane from the front end to the throat on the under side.4 Then make a separate piece to form that part of the face of the plane cut out, and' also to fit the groove accurately. The object of this piece on the face of the plane is to keep the throat of the plane small as the face wears away by use,

vand is done by cutting the shoulder at the throat ofthe plane and sliding the face-piece toward the bit, and is represented by the letter B. Thus, the throat may be regulated in size until the plane is worn ont. Said faccpieoeiis moved by and held by two screws, the one on thetop, letter C., .passing through the upper part of the plane and down into letas described.
